2012 Nissan Rogue Reviews: A Review of the Compact SUV

The Nissan Rogue is a compact SUV that offers a lot of value for its price. While its cabin may not be the most luxurious, it is well-equipped with all the necessary features to make your driving experience comfortable and enjoyable.

One of the standout features of the 2012 Rogue is its engine. The 2.5-liter engine provides confident and strong acceleration, thanks in part to the CVT (continuously variable transmission) that allows you to access economy or power as needed. What's impressive about the Rogue's transmission is how well Nissan has mastered the technology. Unlike some of its competitors, the Rogue's CVT never felt breathless or unresponsive, providing a smooth and seamless driving experience.

The engine may not be the most powerful, but it does an excellent job of making the most of its abilities. While it doesn't have instant-on torque like an electric car, it provides a strong and confident acceleration that will get you moving quickly enough. The CVT's ability to stay out of the way also allows for more control over the engine rpm with the accelerator pedal, making it feel almost as if you're driving a manual transmission.

Overall, my time with the 2012 Rogue was impressive. Nissan has clearly dialed in the CVT to eliminate most of the rubbery rpm-hunting that plagued earlier generations of the technology. The result is a compact SUV that offers a lot of value for its price and provides a smooth and enjoyable driving experience.
